Solomon Islands
AI behavior law: bot and agent disclosure, crawler and training-data rules, automated-agent transactions, and algorithmic decision-making.
Summary
Solomon Islands has no dedicated cybercrime statute. The Telecommunications Act 2009 Part 19 contains limited telecommunications offences (intercepting messages, altering/destroying data, infringing security to obtain data) that could touch on computer access but do not amount to a comprehensive computer-crime framework. No data-protection law exists; UNCTAD is supporting drafting. A National Cybersecurity Policy was launched in August 2024. Copyright Act (Chapter 138) provides narrow fair dealing; no sui generis database right; no TDM exception. Law is minimal and unclear; very low practical enforcement capacity. fast_moving because cybercrime and data-protection legislation are both under active drafting.
